The Goddess Prom

Here's one that'll make you laugh out loud:

The Texas state Senate committee on Health&Human Services met last week to pat themselves on the back for their legislative achievements in women's health care.

Yeah.  You read it right.  Here it is again:

Ignore the 76 family planning clinics that have had to close because of recent legislative restrictions and budget cuts. 

Ignore the fact that the TxLeg slashed the state's family-planning budget by two-thirds back in 2011.

Ignore the fact that a third of Texas women have no health insurance, and 155,000 Texas women have lost access to the most basic preventative health care since 2011.

Ugh.  I think I'm done laughing now.

Our dear and lovely Cecile Richards said in a recent email to HuffPost, "It's laughable that the same politicians that have devastated Texas women's access to health care -- cancer screenings, birth control, and safe, legal abortion -- are now touting their so-called achievements in women's health.  If that’s what they call help for Texas women, we've had quite enough of it."

I couldn't agree more.  How 'bout you?
